Hi, James,
Update on my post from this morning. I had a few minutes to kill downtown (slow
day in bike courier world), and I popped into Henry's, to check on prices for my
own purposes, as well as to give you an update.
Seems that I was low-balling you this morning. The cheapest Spotmatic they had, an
SP, was $150, with lens. The cheapest SPII was $250, and the most expensive SPII
was $350 (!!). They also had an F, for around $300 or so, if I'm not mistaken.
Also walked by a few pawn shops in the area, and one had an SP in the window for
about $200.
Wow, have prices gone up that much in the last year or so?!?
Anyway, FYI...
regards,
frank
